[Solved] DoesUnitExist

[Arhowk]

udg_var == null

This will return false if the unit is removed and the variable isn't nulled. I can't do a life check because I dont want to get dead units to return true. Is there a good workaround for this? I just want

if DoesUnitExist(var) then

I think this is what you want? I'm not sure.

local unit u = yourunit
if (u == null) then
    //dostuff
endif

// or

if (GetHandleId(u) != 0) then
    // unit exists
endif

And the generic way for other agents, use the boolean returned of the Save hashtables functions, since you can't store ghost or null agents, only valids ones.

I usually use GetUnitTypeId != 0 but TriggerHappy's method workswell also I believe.

Oh i thought that was TriggerHappy suggested, but it would fail, GetHandleId would return the handle id, even for ghost ones (handle destroyed but variable not nulled)

Thank you, that works. Trigger's method doesn't work because of what trollbrain said (ghost handles)
